Project: AGUAS

AGUAS is an ongoing exploration of rivers, inviting community participation through a ritual of river cleansing. For DIVERSEartLA, the artist presents AGUAS, centered on the Los Angeles River. Volunteers take selfies, which are placed in developing trays, becoming fleeting images that emerge and fade—mirroring our fragile connection to the natural world. Each participant becomes a visual narrator, witnessing the flow of the environment and the interdependence of humans and nature.

AGUAS is not just a meditation on environmental change; it is a collaborative act of care, listening, and restoration.

Eugenia Vargas Pereira has participated in numerous Biennials, including the Havana Biennial, Aperto X Venice Biennale, XX Biennial of Photography in Mexico City, Biennale Rotterdam, Casablanca Biennale, and the 50th Venice Biennale, among others.
